You know when you're confused about EVERYTHING?
Well, I sure hope you do, because if not, then you're not gonna relate to this.
I'm currently even confused about what to talk about. I just know, it revolves around confusion.
You know when you wake up, and you have nothing to do, you just stay there and do absolutely nothing. And then, you start thinking about the randomest of things. Like, oh, I didn't have chicken yesterday, and whatnot.
Finally, you argue with yourself, should I get up now? Or wait another 10 minutes?
Life's kinda like that too, you sometimes don't know when you should approach a person, do they need more time? Have they had enough?
Or, am I ready? Ready to graduate?
So many dilemmas, so little time to think. Everything's confusing. You ALWAYS have to make a choice, one's never handed to you, and if it is, you look the other way. Confusion does wonders to a person. Almost drives them nuts, maybe. Confused about your wanted future whereabouts. Confused about who you wanna be. A Doctor or an Engineer? Mhmm.
This whole blog might have confused you with all it's confused-ness, but it's just ahhh. Why can't life be easier? Why can't our confusion revolve around which pack of crayons to get?

Distance Stinks
You know what sucks?
Well, the title is really self-explanatory; but ah, it's a tad annoying. It's like, you've got all these memories rushing through your head, all about people who live a thousand miles away, nowhere near you. And you get that, "I miss you" feeling when you think about it, but you can't do anything about it. The best you can hope for, is for their return, or maybe even a visit. But you can't abandon that void. It'll always be there, or maybe just until you're not close anymore, it simply varies.
I wish we could all live in a small world. Where as, nobody can really travel too far. Always close, always there. I hate nostalgia. Ah, I just wish everything could go my way sometimes, you know? We can't always get what we want, yada yadaaaa, I get it, but it's just irritating. I miss some people, and they're just too far away. Not even an everyday conversation can make up for our memories. It's just sad, that's all.
I wish we could ALWAYS get what we want.
I wanna yell at the top of the Empire State Building, and say, "I'm finally here."
It's kinda my dream, along with a good friend of mine :')

Perfection
How would you describe perfection?
I think most of us are obsessed with the idea of being perfect. Hence, we have all those fancy surgeries, hair coloring, and all that. If humanity was so satisfied, all this would've never existed. The funny thing is, we, ourselves, think celebrities are perfect. When really, they complain more about their looks than we do. They try to be, of course. But they're not. Nobody is.
No matter how hard we try to be perfect, we won't be. As they say, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." Which is seriously true, because, your parents, for example, would see you as perfect. But the somewhat unfortunate other part of the world, would simply judge you on your looks. Ah, your nose is too big. Ew, I hate your haircut.
I mean, SERIOUSLY? What's up with people and judging? If you wanna judge someone on their looks, go ahead, but keep quiet. It's hurtful and uncalled for.
As corny as it sounds, everyone's 'beautiful'. Beautiful can mean so many things all at once. It can simply mean your features, or you can have a beautiful personality. All nice and infrared; you could be. Try to tune out the heartless part of the world, just remember, nice people still exist. A small part of us still dream of world perfection. We all know, that's not gonna happen and it's just impossible as walking on the sun is. But dreaming won't hurt.
The whole point of this blog is, to simply advise you to be yourself. As hard as it may be, don't listen to what people say.

It's Good Enough :')
They say life doesn't always turn out the way you want it to. We all know how true that is, at the end of the day, all we do is work hard and try to succeed, and it doesn't always work. There's a lot of competition out there. Whether you compare it with history so far, all the records that have been broken, or politics, or maybe even school. Sometimes, no matter how hard we work, or study, it's still not good enough; well, that's what we think. One thing we should consider, is that, we shouldn't beat ourselves up over what happened. "Don't cry over spilled milk" They say.
I seriously couldn't agree with that more, I mean, as human beings, we tend to make mistakes, and sometimes, maybe even silly ones. It frustrates us, also taunts us, but we have to get over it, and work harder next time. You can't be perfect, but you can be awesome. Aim for awesomeness! You think all those presidents and millionaires grew up in mansions? I think not. Some of them came from horrid childhoods and rural environments. And look where they are now. God Bless, they simply worked hard! :')
So, try to aim for a better life, and work to your potential, don't simply give up after a bad grade, or getting yelled at by your boss and such. Prove them wrong, show them that you can do better! I'm seriously sure you can.
One thing, I think, most of us lack, is confidence after it's been shattered. It's so odd how one insult can haunt us for a week, how it hangs over our head, almost like a cloud of rain. But really, we should simply brush it off, and think of the GOOD compliments we've gotten. Whether it was last year, or the year before that, it still matters because someone actually meant to compliment you! :')

Mundane Thoughts; Dreams
You know what sucks? When you're just about to grab your dream or something you've been longing for, BUT there's that one thing or that one person who's standing right in between, mischievously smiling, He knows he's your barrier.
I find it terribly aggravating. It's like, looking through a crystal clear window, where you can see it right there! All clear. But it's glass, you can't get through. You're outrageously furious. Your eyes only lie on your goal. Simply glaring it down with all your might. You can't do anything, not until you break down that glass window.
I'm sorry to say, that's not always possible.
No matter how strong you think you are, or no matter how strong that hammer is. It might not work. Not unless you've been preparing for such a horrid battle. A sturdy window VS a mundane.
I'd say that 85% of people aiming for something, talk about it, but don't pursue it. Endlessly day dreaming, thinking of different ways of getting it, but just not determined enough to get out there and try to grasp it. If you feel your hand's not strong enough, strengthen it! Get out there and get it! And if you're too young for that, like myself, then think of practical strategies of getting it in the near future. :')

Obsession? I think not. Or maybe.
So like,
I was at school on Thursday, le duh. I had computer class, so you know, internet! I checked my UPS tracker thingy for my Taylor Swift package.You can guess what happened next..
Apparently, my package arrived. NO!? Yeah, seriously. Like, seriously. It's so cliche for me to yell at the top of my lungs, which, of course, I did. A second later, the bell rings. We have homeroom. So, I pass by maths, and ask the teacher about my test. I got 19/20. I feel awesome.
Homeroom's done. We're going home! I rush to the bus, ask the bus driver to leave a bit earlier today. He just goes like, okaaay?.. yeah, totally..
Baaack to the point! They drop me off, I walk into my building, get into the elevator, get out, and walk into the apartment.
I see a UPS package on the dining room table. Oh no, are you kidding me?! AHHHH! I try to open it, IT WON'T BUDGE! AH, I get the scissor! HA!!!The album's white, Taylor Swift's on the cover. She's wearing a pretty purple dress, her hair's curled. NO!? Yeah, seriously. The back, she's wearing a yellow dress, with all the 14 songs listed. Mindblowing, I swear. Next, my hands land on the amazingly Taylor Swift note. It's awesome.Oh, last but not least, I stare at the pretty purple bracelet in my hands. It says, "Speak Now". Epic.
I freak out, and I finally listen to her album.
AMAZING! <3
MINDBLOWING! <3
ASTONISHING! <3
ENCHANTING! <3
REMARKABLE! <3
GRASTICABULOUS! <3
(My own word, consisting of: Great, Fabulous, Fantastic.)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS.
Taylor Swift, overall, is epic. I can't imagine a Taylor Swift-less world. It just can't exist.
I love you, Taylor Swift! <3
Mindblowing album! <3

Uncertainty
We all know what a routine is, am I right? Well, I'll give you an example, just in case.
I wake up every morning at 5:40 a.m., I go down for the bus at 6:15 a.m., I come home 3:45 p.m. and I got to bed at 10p.m.
That's a routine. When you know what you're doing for the next few days; I know I'm gonna wake up at 5:40 a.m. 5 days a week, till school ends. But seriously, don't you get sick of it? Especially if you didn't have such an exciting weekend? I had an epic Thursday, but a dull Friday and Saturday, it just leaves you in that "meh" mood. It kinda sucks 'cause you're dull, but it's better for your education, I guess?
Don't you just feel like doing something spontaneous? I wanna travel to Paris right now. It's just so pretty! Well, that's what the pictures show, also, that's what everyone says. Such an exciting city, they say. I wish I could just travel the world, wouldn't that be amazing?
We all need some sort of break, I think writing, utmost of all, keeps me happy. If you simply take away writing, I'd definitely crash and burn. Not literally, I mean, it's possible, but like, I'm too young to die?! D:
Honestly, don't you just miss there mere simplicity of being a kid? Racism did not exist in minds of the young, we were naive and oblivious to such cruelty out there. Don't you just miss all the crayon and candy sharing? Or, when the biggest of fights would be over who got the red crayon.
I know I'm falling astray from where I was, but my point is, I just wish life could be simple again.
Rather than be sixteen, I wish I could be six.
I miss the utter simplicity of life. I want those crayons again.

A Human Confession
Importance.
How important is it for YOU to feel important? Maybe, a little compliment every once in a while? A random smile? A stranger's kindness, thoughtfulness?
Let's say, you trip, your items fall and spread out, you're hurt. It's embarrassing enough when you're alone, but what I would consider MORE embarrassing is when people just glare at you, not caring about the awkwardness you're facing. But, what I consider amazing, is when a random stranger helps you out.
Might ask you if you're alright, if you need any help getting up. I like nice people :3
You know who I really hate? That ignorant person who pretends to be oblivious to the world. Laughs at someone for their appearance, or maybe even, their cultural difference. Do they have any idea how much it hurts?
The feeling of humiliation? How much it might lower their self-esteem? How heartless and inconsiderate, don't you think? Even if it's a joke, don't share it when they're around if it's about their cultural and whatnot. It's hurtful.
It's not like, you can't joke around IF you're close to them. BUT, you need to remember, people have different personalities, and some people don't like to joke like that, or might take offense.
I honestly wish we could live in a better world. Where a stranger lends a hand without expecting something in return, where kids can roam around without their parents having to worry, where adults can give children candy without being suspected for, well, you knoww. ahahha!
My birthday's soon, and honestly speaking, I'd rather turn 6 than 16. I miss being a kid. Life was so much simpler back then, we didn't have all this boy drama and who's gossiping about who. Those silly rumors, and whatnot. I miss being a kid, I really do.
Seeing the world from bright sunglasses felt a lot better than seeing it for what it really is.

High School
School started, eh? I'm sure most of you are getting up at like, 6 a.m, totally fresh and in the mood..
Like, seriously, doesn't it feel like school takes your life away? I mean, I surely adore school right now, but it just feels weird not being able to do the lifeless things I used to. For example, I can barely read during the week, I'm just too sleepy and tired, so reading a book just makes me wanna SLEEEP. The one thing we CRAVE for during the week. It's a NECESSITY that we can't seem to satisfy.
You know what also sucks? When you get way to caught up and busy with things, you lose track of your life. Like, friends, for example. Them thinking you changed and such, but it's always easy to blame someone, isn't it? It's funny, but people never fail to amaze me. I just think it's kinda unfair when you put your effort into making something work and it just blows in your face. That's what friends are for, right? But we all have our true friends, and I adore mine <3
This is just everyday life. The rumors spreading around, the rumors you hear, the friendships, the backstabbing, the relationships, my GOD. This will never end. It's like, drama after drama after drama, it's like a never ending cycle of annoyance and headache. Let's just thank God that we have awesome people to lean on. But like, seriously? Doesn't it get on your nerves? Simply just hearing a rumor of some sort, even if it's true, it just gets on my nerves. Let the person do whatever he/she wants, even if it's wrong, there's only so much we can do, and informing everyone won't do any good.
I think it's just what High School is all about. It's about competition, boys, and friendships. Most girls in High School simply worry about looking good, giggling when a cute guy walks by, and OMG-ing when he leaves. Like, okay? There's a LIMIT, don't cross the line. It just gets way too annoying. But I guess it's just part of our lives, right?
Anyway, I'm sorry I'm just like, talking way too much.. but I can't help it. So, enough about me, how are you?

Ouch
You know that day when you're just not in the mood?
Well, I'm having one of those. I have a bad tummy ache that's been taunting me since yesterday night. It won't go away and it's frustrating cause I feel nauseous; it just sucks!
I guess today's just not my day. I'm in the worst mood ever. I've been trying to lift my spirits with Youtube videos and whatnot, but it's just not working. Ah, sigh. Stupid bad day, how much I hate you. It's funny though, since Eid is almost here, and I'm like, maybe the only person not interested.
I have no idea why I'm just so down today. It suckssss, bleh. It's weird cause I'm alwayssss in high spirits.. I guess tummy aches get the best of me, huh?
Well, I won't write anything random till my tummy ache's gone 'cause it's the only thing on my mind.
I'm sorry, I'll see you soon. Rawr.

Eating Me Up
I'm gonna write directly to you today.
A friend of mine moved out of the country a while ago, and he's like, one of my best friends. He's here on a visit right now, and I've just seen him three times.
It's funny how when we got so close, he just had to leave. I always found timing ironic.. you know that friend you talk to about EVERYTHING? Like, no matter how lame or senseless it is, he's just that friend. He's also that annoying friend who makes you laugh, HAHA <3
I'll miss his face, and I'll pray for a miracle to happen; I seriously wish things were different :c
and I'm sure I'm not the only one. He's one heck of a guy, no matter what he does :3
I'll never forget all our lame jokes, pointless and random conversations, annoying the hell out of you, and the annoying way you pat my head <3
Thank you for being a great friend, and you're always welcome here :3
<3
I know this sounds corny.. but it's my blog, right? :D

Smilesmilesmilesmile
Ever thought about listing down the things that make you happy? Well, you could give it a shot, and here I am doing just that.
Taylor Swift's songs can have me dancing for hours. Singing along, yelling, and jumping when I feel I need to; and when I feel down, the only thing that can put me in high spirits is Taylor's music. Duh..
Green tea, oh sweet green tea, what will I ever do without you? <3
I can't live through a day without green tea; it's just impossible! Gotta haaave it when I wake up, after lunch and dinner. It's just a part of my life <3
Friends, friends friends. Can we live without them? No matter how much we fight, annoy the hell out of each other, we're still friends. We can't leave out the good things now, can we? Those days spent laughing, talking, yelling, dancing, being our stupid selves; ah, friends :') <3
Now, let's not forget about family. Those people you live with who tolerate you no matter how annoying you are. Well, they do yell at you and tell you to shut the hell up.. but still, you gotta love them, right?
Books books books <3 Those good ol' Nicholas Sparks books that I read almost everyday! He just puts me to tears, best Author EVER! It's just everything about his books, his writing skills, his creativity <3
Gottaaaa love him!
Moviemoviesmovies, can we live without them? Can we really? What else would we do if we didn't have a good movie to watch every once in a while? You just gotta love them!
Ohhh, let's not forget about sunshine and swimming! Good weather always calls for a good mood, even when it's hot.. well, not really; but still, I LOVE sunshine!
Last but not least, writing! It's the only way I can let my feelings out, which is a corny thing to say, I guess.. but it's just that one thing I do to let it all go; and it works for my advantage, cause it totally inspires my poems and blogs, so there you go!
I just gotta thank my friend, Jenan for giving me this idea :3
<3
Taylor Swift's songs can have me dancing for hours. Singing along, yelling, and jumping when I feel I need to; and when I feel down, the only thing that can put me in high spirits is Taylor's music. Duh..
Green tea, oh sweet green tea, what will I ever do without you? <3
I can't live through a day without green tea; it's just impossible! Gotta haaave it when I wake up, after lunch and dinner. It's just a part of my life <3
Friends, friends friends. Can we live without them? No matter how much we fight, annoy the hell out of each other, we're still friends. We can't leave out the good things now, can we? Those days spent laughing, talking, yelling, dancing, being our stupid selves; ah, friends :') <3
Now, let's not forget about family. Those people you live with who tolerate you no matter how annoying you are. Well, they do yell at you and tell you to shut the hell up.. but still, you gotta love them, right?
Books books books <3 Those good ol' Nicholas Sparks books that I read almost everyday! He just puts me to tears, best Author EVER! It's just everything about his books, his writing skills, his creativity <3
Gottaaaa love him!

Pre-Teens & Drinking
We all see those 12 year olds posting statuses about drinking, or just uploading pictures of themselves holding a bottle of vodka.
It's just so unreasonable. I'm sure most of them drink out of desperation to fit in. To join the 'Cool Crowd'. This relates to my previous blog about kids wanting to fit in, and I just thought it was a big enough issue for people to relate to. I mean, do you really want your younger brother/sister to be surrounded by such an environment? The whole peer pressure thing to drink and whatnot?
Don't these kids understand that they have their whole life ahead of them? Also, what's so fun about doing something out of desperation? To be fair, you can't really blame them. At the end of the day, that's all movies/tv shows talk about. Kids get curious, and then think it makes them look good. So, they start drinking, thinking it helps them get popular; therefore, drinking becomes a habit and then they get bored. So now, they're looking for something new and exciting; they stumble across weed. I'd like to think most of them wouldn't bother trying it, but I'm guessing that the majority would at least give it a shot, because it would make them cooler, right?
They should understand that it's bad for them. They're old enough to understand what 'good' and 'bad' means, and I'm sure their parents consistently tell them to stay away from drugs and alcohol. Now, I can't really say that I always listen to my parents. Nobody follows everything their parents say; but, this is a big issue, it isn't about coming home way past your curfew or dating someone your parents dislike.
Thanks to a friend of mine who thought I could inspire people to stay away from drinking and whatnot.

Temptation
We all want to fit in; but the question is, how far would we go to blend in?
You're at a party, all your friends are drinking, trying to block out reality, trying to escape to a world of freedom, where self control takes no part. You never thought about drinking, or let's just say that you're against it. Your friends are telling you to loosen up, to take a sip or two, it won't do any harm. Now, you're really pissed off, but mostly curious. You're curious about it's taste, about the way it would make you feel, the things it would change.
So, you're standing right next to the table; where all the drinks are. Curiosity hits you again, and you finally reach for a drink. You promised you'd only have a glass. That's one. You feel the alcoholic liquid run down your throat, and you reach for another. That's two. You're unsteady now, your mind's no longer taking part. Your throat aches for another. That's three. You now feel dizzy, and you join your friends at the dance floor.
Now, most people would give up to temptation just like that. Mostly, cause they want to fit in. Some people would go beyond limits to please everyone. Which is totally wrong. You should just be yourself; obviously. If people don't like you, then that's just them. I'm sure you'll find someone else to hang out with. You shouldn't be a conformist. We have enough of them in the world. If you don't think you should drink, then don't; no matter how much you're told that it's the greatest feeling in the world.
Also, one big issue that really is just pressurizing and seems to be eating up A LOT of girls, is that, you don't have to look like a model. You really don't. You don't have to starve yourself all day just to lose weight. Nothing's wrong with being average, just try to process that. Now, I'm not saying you should be obese. Obesity is sickness.
All I'm saying here is that, just be yourself. Wouldn't you rather hang around people you can really relate to rather than have to fake everything all the time? It's okay to stand out, it makes you unique, and we need people like that.

Public Opinion.
It kinda sucks how some people change to the worse, don't you think?
Well, what if you were the one everyone thought has changed?
Because you moved out of the country, or, once you did, you didn't keep in touch much when you promised you would. So, you make your own friends, and they just confirm that you've changed even more. The confrontation is horrible. Full of accusations and misunderstandings. You begin to lose your friends; you didn't want any of that. Your first year away from home has become even more pressurizing. You feel like you can't talk to anyone.
Why is that?
When once, your friends were the first people you went crying to. The first people you talked to. But everything's just different now. Cause the sad thing is; people change, things change; even though, they're accusing you of changing, it might just be the way things turned out. Life takes it's own course sometimes, but us, as human beings, like to find someone to blame. This will ALWAYS be the case. No matter how old and mature you are. Although, some people take the blame, but in some situations, it's just not possible.
Also, you might have never changed. Let's just say.. that you've always thought differently about things; about those little little things that hardly matter. But you've kept it to yourself because majority wins, doesn't it? The minority should always respect that. Although, the cost of your various opinions shouldn't affect your friendships; even though, that isn't always the case.. since some people find comfort around people who share their own interests and opinions. Hence, this makes it harder for some people to swallow, since not many people like leaving their comfort zones and would rather hang around people they're comfortable talking to about everything; from the weather to politics. Now, let's say you have a different view about politics than the majority does. The majority are your friends, so keep that in mind. When you're out of that bubble in which you were forced to keep your opinion to yourself, some people might see it as change. Which isn't true at all.
The whole point of this entry is to open your eyes to the complications of the word "change".
Because, I feel some people are misunderstood and play the victim when everyone else pretends to be. Losing your friends hurts enough, but making them think you're not yourself anymore? Where's the justice in that?
